thanks for the upload; i have installed the files and updated the

The upload facilities at tug.ctan.org will be down for a couple of days.
Saint Michael's College hosts the site and is running network testing
that may lead to spotty availability. That in turn could make
newly-installed materials unavailable to mirrors. Anyway, it should all
be back by Fri.

TeX/LaTeX support
Author's name: Clea F. Rees
Summary description: Romande ADF fonts collection in ps type 1 format
with TeX/LaTeX support.
License type: other-free
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Romande ADF is a serif family with oldstyle figures designed
as a substitute for Times, Tiffany or Caslon. The family
currently includes upright, italic and small-caps shapes in
each of regular and demi-bold weights and an italic script
in regular. The support package renames the fonts according
to the Karl Berry fontname scheme and defines four families.
Two of these primarily provide access to the standard'' or
default characters while the alternate'' families support
alternate characters, additional ligatures and the long s.
The included package files provide access to these features
in LaTeX as explained in the documentation.
The fonts themselves are released under the GPL v2 or later,
with font exception.
The support package is released under the LPPL.
